Dog-Friendly Hiking in the Stowe Area

There are plenty of dog-friendly hiking trails for you and your pooch to enjoy nearby our property, so put on your hiking boots, grab the leash, and get hiking!

Moss Glen Falls Trail

Distance: 1 Mile | Time: 0.75 Hours | Difficulty: Easy

Follow VT 100 north from Stowe 3.2 miles to Randolph Road. Turn right and follow for 0.5 mile. Turn right onto Moss Glen Falls Road and follow for 0.5 mile to a small parking area.

This is a very short, but scenic hike to a spectacular waterfall. Although the trail is not well marked, the route is obvious. Follow the brook upstream to the falls. Be careful at the falls, as loose debris at the edge of the trail can be slippery and dangerous. Inexperienced hikers should stay to the left, above the falls. The trail connects to a VAST snowmobile trail so be careful not to follow the wrong trail back.

Mount Mansfield State Forest: Cotton Brook Loop

Distance: 9 Miles | Time: 4.5 Hours | Difficulty: Moderate

From Trapp Family Lodge, follow Route 100 north to Moscow Road. Take a right on Moscow Road and then a left onto Cottonbrook Road. Follow it for about 2 miles to the Cotton Brook Entrance to the Mount Mansfield State Forest. Parking is on the right. The trail begins down the road at the red gate. The loop passes by a number of old farm and saw mill sites and affords views of the reservoir and the Bolton Range. (If you come across a moose, enjoy - but keep a safe distance.)

Sterling Pond: Long Trail North

Distance: 2.8 Miles | Time: 2 Hours | Difficulty: Easy

From the Trapp Family Lodge, take Trapp Hill to Luce Hill Road. Go to the bottom of Luce Hill and turn left. From there, it’s about 9 miles to the Long Trail parking area, which is at the top of Notch Road. Parking is on both the left and right. The trail is on the right side. The route to the pond follows the Sterling Pond Trail. You can make a loop of the pond by following the Elephant’s Head Trail, but be careful to get back on the Sterling Pond Trail for the descent back to the trailhead.

A more challenging loop can be created by hiking up the Long Trail from further down Route 108 and returning via the Sterling Pond Trail, then walking down Route 108. There are great views from Sterling Pond (at over 3,000 feet). Check out the Long Trail Guide for further information.
